Oh, have you heard de latest, De latest all yore own? All about de Boll Weevil Whut caused me to lose mah home? To lose mah home,- to lose mah home! 2 First time ah saw de Boll Weevil He was sittin' on de squah. Next time ah saw dat Weevil He was sittin' everywhah, Jes' a-lookin' foh a home,- lookin' foh a home! 3 Fahmah say to de Weevil, "Whut makes yore head so red?" Weevil say to de fahmah, "It's a wonder ah ain't dead, Lookin' foh a home, lookin' foh a home!" 4 Nigger say to de Weevil, "Ah'll throw you in de hot sand." Weevil say to de nigger, "Ah'll stand hit lak a man. Ah'll have a home, ah'll have a home." 5 Says de Captain to de Mistis, "Whut do you thing ob dat? Dis Boll Weevil done make a nes' Inside mah Sunday hat; He'll have a home,- he'll have a home!" 6 Ef you wanta kill de Boll Weevil You bettah staht in time. Use a little sugar An' lots of turpentine, An' he'll be dead,- an' he'll be dead.
